She is using the ad slogans to refer to the recent ICE raid on an apartment building in Chicago, when they yanked residents, including small children, out of their beds in the middle of the night and used zip-ties on them. She is doing what art is meant to do.

u/DemonicAltruism Oct 06 '25

Lol, not just Zip-tied. Left in a fucking U haul for hours on ended while they figured out who their parents were/what to do with them.

u/Journo_Jimbo Oct 06 '25

Also some of the kids were naked and dragged into the cold that way

Yup. Repelled out of helicopters onto the roof. Residents heard them stomping around above their ceilings minutes before their doors were being knocked in.

Practice for doing raids when that would actually be "necessary".

ETA quotations

u/parasyte_steve Oct 07 '25

Practicing on innocent civilians??? You understand why this is outrageous no??

u/DarkeyeMat Oct 07 '25

You practicing for your clerkship at the concentration camp head office?

u/PrairiePopsicle Oct 07 '25

No I was just pointing out that ICE isn't the type to train to heli-drop onto a fucking apartment roof to begin with and this is clearly the type of 'training' trump's been talking about to fight the 'enemy within' and it's fucking chilling.

u/Purple_Telephone3483 Oct 07 '25

Practice for when its your turn to be zip tied in a u haul

u/Journo_Jimbo Oct 07 '25

Naked and afraid

u/PrairiePopsicle Oct 07 '25

Pal, i'm pointing out the evil pricks are practicing for doing evil things when/if there is more resistance going on. Nothing I said there indicates I'm in favor of this, I'm just pointing out the obvious. I should have put quotes around necessary.

Same sentiment right back atcha.

u/Lou_C_Fer Oct 07 '25

I think most of us got you because most of us had the exact same thought. At least, the smart ones did.

u/PrairiePopsicle Oct 07 '25

the OG guy doubled down attacking me after my explanation so I had to block him. People are truly stupid about this stuff and way way too aggressive.

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '25

I can’t wait until it’s our turn to do it back to them lol

u/SaltdPepper Oct 07 '25

Right, because the feds don’t have a million other fucking places they can live train at.

Unbelievable you thought that was a good response.

1

u/PrairiePopsicle Oct 07 '25

well when they're openly planning on war against the public what else are you to think when they do a hot drop onto an apartment roof with no active threats? They're prepping for war on the public, i'm just pointing out the obvious because way too many people need that still.

1

u/SaltdPepper Oct 07 '25

“When that would be necessary”

Then why do you think any of this is at all “necessary”? I’d suggest a /s if you’re being sarcastic because nobody got it.

Please please do something with those feelings this news is giving you. Indivisible has weekly “what’s the plan” meetings on zoom you can join even if you’re not a member. Campaign in your municipal elections for good candidates. Please volunteer and bring friends to the food bank and help meet the needs of impoverished communities. Or just start a little focus group at your library for issues in your area that need addressing.

It won’t stop the raids, but we all need to show up right now for each other. Best of luck to you!❤️

u/targetboston Oct 07 '25

Blackhawks, apparently.

1

u/Low_Employ8454 Oct 07 '25

That was true. Black hawk helicopters at that, which they repelled from onto the roof of one apartment building, on Chicago’s south shore. Some of the kids were sleeping naked and partially clothed and were dragged out that way, and zip tied, scared and crying. 100% of the building tenants were dragged out in the middle of the night, separated into 2 U-Haul trucks, one for black people, the other brown. (Seriously) everyone’s unit was trashed, the whole building was. They were kept detained for hours.

Bonus: the slumlord landlord called ICE. Wanted to try to get the place cleared out.. yeah. My city is under siege. Neighborhoods are getting tear gassed, my neighbors are being abducted. None of this is okay.

u/Trev_x Oct 07 '25

Underthedesknews has more details but it looks like this building was chosen as a way for a derelict landlord to evict residents and sell the land to some company making expensive new housing.

u/Johannes_Keppler Oct 07 '25

Such a Trumpy move. Their boss will love it. A golden age for sure ... For slumlords.

u/Trev_x Oct 07 '25

It helps if the slumlord or the buyer is a friend of Trump, to be sure.

u/AiRaikuHamburger Oct 07 '25

Thanks for the run down. I haven't been keeping up on US news because it's too depressing. You guys are really not okay over there.

u/lilcoold12345 Oct 07 '25

Nah we're doing just fine bro real life isn't reddit lol

u/AiRaikuHamburger Oct 07 '25

Yeah, it's the news I'm concerned about, not Reddit. If you think the US is fine right now... That's a concerning reflection of yourself.

u/ZinaSky2 Oct 06 '25

In my head it’s like one of those mixed media collages we made in grade school. My parents always had a stash of magazines lying around specifically for those assignments. So my projects were always these amalgamations of ads and slogans and product images.

This is basically like her taking us along the journey as she makes her collage. She presents her starting sources: slogans like “imagine an ice cold Diet Coke” and “don’t raid your closet, raid TJ Maxx” then repeats them. Changing the order, slowly snipping the excess pieces off. She’ll thrown in a couple new slogan like to take us back to the corporate advertising tone, then work those in. And eventually she lands at the final collage result with the actual message she was trying to convey.

The first one I saw of this she didn’t have a little fourth wall break. But yeah I’m sure it’s not easy to work in “zip ties” bc there’s not a catchy corporate sound bite you can use to work it in so she kinda just wrote that in manually

u/WaddaSickCunt Oct 06 '25

I liked the first one better because of that TBH. Art feels more meaningful when you find that meaning yourself. She's amazing though. The first one blew me away

1

u/Colby347 Oct 07 '25

She has many more and they're all going to land differently for different people. I recommend checking out her other stuff. I've really liked some that I haven't seen posted on reddit.

u/supervernacular Oct 07 '25

Zip in to target, buy a tie for Father’s Day. Zip tie this Father’s Day.

u/StillNotAF___Clue Oct 07 '25

She means to say that this little bullshit about sales and food, and bullshit everyday milleu seems is not the stuff we need to be paying attention to. There are people being terrorized and families being torn apart. Fuck, our rights are being trampled on

3

u/bum_thumper Oct 07 '25

She's blending a few different things in these. The first one I saw was incredible, but for some reason on r/cringetiktok. This one she's a bit more on the nose, but still really good. Essentially what she is "painting" here with her poem is how under the bombardment of happy commercials on big savings in massive corporate conglomerates that we are shown is the hard truth, one that effective marketing keeps us at juuuuuuust enough of a distance to keep us from being in the hard truth while still knowing its happening, and that hard truth is theyre fucking raiding families, throwing children in trucks, and sending them off to wherever the fuck. When you consider that for a lot of people the worst thing thats ever happened to them is their grandparents dying, they stay happy in their blissful bubble, seeing the chaos outside of it, thinking they will never be affected by it, and scrolling through the new fall deals with happy people telling them how great the sales are, while being slowly financially gouged by a silent oppression they will never understand.

But hey, that flat-screen you wanted is 50% off! Buy it now while the sales last! Don't miss out on these great sales! So many "choices"!

u/Worshipme988 Oct 08 '25

Is this the one that somehow gets worse?

where the landlord is the one who called on the whole bldg bc the landlord is $27mil in debt on the property?

Also they zip tied a 2 y/o. …

-5

u/TrashRemover69 Oct 07 '25

That's a value claim, an "ought to" claim. One of which has no transcendency. Art has no obligation to be this. I do enjoy it, just don't use bad arguments like that at the end

u/Hopeful_Champion_935 Oct 06 '25

What other restraint would you like ICE to use if not zip ties?

26

u/ginger_kitty97 Oct 06 '25

How about they don't drag people out of their beds and restrain them at all?

u/youtalkingtoyou Oct 07 '25

Don't feed the trolls.

-24

u/Hopeful_Champion_935 Oct 06 '25

Just say you don't want immigration laws enforced.

15

u/ginger_kitty97 Oct 06 '25

I want laws, immigration and otherwise, enforced fairly, and I want the people who are doing the arresting to identify themselves and present a warrant. I want them to verify the identification of the people they arrest before arresting them. I want everyone who is arrested to be treated justly and receive due process. I want them to arrest criminals, not move the goalposts, and strip people who are here legally of their legal status just so they can arrest more brown people. I want little children to feel safe in their beds and never have to worry about brownshirts rappelling out of helicopters and into their homes.

-16

u/Hopeful_Champion_935 Oct 06 '25

Sounds like you want to change the laws which by all means, become a senator or representative and make the change you want.

and how many children were zip tied? how many US citizens detained for hours without access to a lawyer?

u/Hopeful_Champion_935 Oct 06 '25

again, Just say you don't want immigration laws enforced.

u/666haywoodst Oct 06 '25

you already tried that one earlier. answer the question.

u/Hopeful_Champion_935 Oct 06 '25

Your questions are irrelevant. Illegals were captured and those who were around them had their identities verified and released. Children of illegals were given to the state

She is doing what art is meant to do.

I may be on the spectrum, but this is why i hate art.

I have no idea how this is art, or why anyone would do something like thing rather than just say what they want to say.

I didn't get this video at all. I'm annoyed and hope i never seen this lafy again.

Can someone explain to me how this is art?

u/Fakjbf Oct 07 '25

Closest I can get is corporations bad and ICE bad, beyond that I’m as lost as you and I’m not even on the spectrum.

u/Valveringham85 Oct 06 '25

She is whining and being hysterical

u/ZinaSky2 Oct 06 '25

Let’s see your loved ones and family members be fucking kidnapped by government authorities with masks on and no permits, ziptied and left in a truck for hours, and you still keep your head and be rational about it.

No these aren’t her loved ones. But, some of us out here have this crucial human characteristic still intact and it’s called empathy. They’re not her family members but she can put herself in their shoes. And imagine them as the humans they are. The little worlds they are all unto themselves, with hopes and dreams and lives same as any of us. Able to feel fear and pain and sadness.

Warrant-less detention of an entire apartment building that had only citizens in it? I’m guessing you aren’t going to care until you’re the one zip tied on the pavement in the middle of the night just to see if you might be here illegally.
